2009-06-06 New Neighbors

When I was done mowing my back lawn, I was surprised to find a nest right next to the gate to my back yard. Looks like there are two new babies. And my poor cats don't have the faintest clue about this!

UPDATE: A friend of mine has identified them as mourning doves.

6/10 UPDATE: I went to take some more pictures of them, and discovered the babies can fly! Well, one of them did a controlled descent into my back lawn, then was able to do a flapping-assisted leap over the fence. As of now they've abandoned their nest, but are still hanging around on my backyard fence.
